Usage notes
Though this verb is often somewhat erroneously translated as English "to sit", really refers to the action of sitting down, not the state of being sat. Hence the Persian equivalent for the English "to be sitting" is the present perfect of, i.e. "to have sat down", and the Persian present progressive is equivalent to English "to be sitting down".
